Hit-drum and bass group Rudimental has been confirmed as the next big DJ act to play in Carlisle.

The open-air concert will take place on July 4 at Carlisle Racecourse, with the four-piece group following in the footsteps of DJ headliner Sigala - who played earlier this year.

The Brit-Award winning group said: “We're hyped to headline Carlisle Racecourse on 4th July.

"It's gonna be a party.”

Molly Dingwall, general manager at Carlisle Racecourse, said: "We are delighted to be welcoming Rudimental to Carlisle Racecourse for the first time. After the great response to Sigala’s stellar set last year we know there is a love of great dance music in Cumbria, so Rudimental promises to be a memorable night for those wanting to carry on the party after racing.”

Tickets will go on sale at 8am on Friday (December 13) and start at £33.60.

A pre-sale will be available to customers at 8am on December 11.
